Now, I also think that the monymaker needing to serve millions of people can go and do that elsewhere.

That's the issue. If we're gonna get evil tech bros out of our human interactions, we need to build a platform that doesn't reject people who like to eat.

Journalists need to get access to sources, and want to see when events are happening.

Documentary creators want a way to create interesting and useful videos that will earn them a living.

Streamers want a platform that can serve a bunch of users with near-realtime (okay, just fast) interactions.

That's what OP's link is missing: being able to use a platform to do your preferred job is one of the things that makes a platform compelling. Until we have that, we're rejecting a big part of our audience.

You are right of course, I just think it might be easier to start small. Starting small means we already have the bandwidth to do so, we just need the software.

I'm working on the tenfingers sharing protocol which could be used to kickstart a more anonymous decentralised web.
